:: ABOUT US

 

THE SILVER STAR APPEAL was launched in January 2007. It campaigns for diabetes awareness.

Besides the Diabetes Centres will provide a free test for diabetes to the public (and there will be two more centres - in Manchester and London), Silver Star is running a mobile Diabetes Unit. The Unit’s main roles are to carry out important diabetes testing in the community and to promote culturally sensitive healthcare, with particular regard to the high prevalence of diabetes amongst south Asian community in the major towns and cities of Britain.

 The Silver Star runs a Mobile Diabetes Assessment Unit, which provides free tests for all those who may wish to have one and promotes culturally sensitive healthcare. The Unit travels to local community centres, schools, work places and other organisations. The van is equipped with a bed, sink and entrance for disabled people. We measure the patient´s weight, height, waist and finally the glucose level.

 

To find out where the Unit has been so far, visit our Events section.
